Collecting up some beef tallow from our farm to do a rendering class. Be on the watch for that to come up!

We are now able to offer USDA inspected beef so we can now sell meat one package at a time or by the package as a % of the beef. Let’s chat about your families needs….

Chickens are giving me plenty of eggs! I’m so proud of my girls. They give me 4 different shades of brown, green and blue eggs every single day. Let me know when you need some $4 a dozen!

We are grinding fresh wheat flour now. You can order WHOLE wheat or regular wheat flour by the pound.

Wheat is $2 a pound. Triticale is $2.25 pound.

Berries to grind yourself at home are:

Wheat .60 cents pound.

Triticale .85 cents pound.

Come see me!

All of you that signed up for the fall potato planting class… it’s time to check if your taters have sprouted. If you have any in these types of net bags, I would recommend that you carefully remove them while the sprouts are still small so you don’t break them off.

Go ahead and start sorting through them. If you have any that are getting rotten remove them immediately. If you have some that have not yet sprouted, mix them in with ones that have. As the potatoes mature, they give off gasses that encourage the rest to ripen faster.

Normally, during regular fresh eating storage of your harvest, you would pull out the sprouted spuds immediately and use them befor they get rotten. Discard rotten ones right away and keep only in sprouted spuds for long term storage.

So for fall planting you WANT to use the potatoes that HAVE sprouted. For long term fresh eating storage you want to use the sprouted ones first, keep unsprouted ones for longest possible fresh eating storage. Keep them separated so the sprouting ones do not cause the unsprouted ones to ripen faster then your family can eat them.

Always sort through and rotate your storage pantry/root cellar/freezer/fridge/items regularly.
